Want To Help Feed West Virginia’s Hungry? Consider Donating Your Deer This Hunting Season

With hunting season in full swing, hundreds of thousands of hunters in West Virginia will head for the woods. Hunting has always been an important part of West Virginia’s culture, but so has helping one another in need. With 217,000 people struggling with hunger in West Virginia, Mountaineer Food Bank encourages hunters to combine their love of the outdoors and hunting with the Hunters Helping the Hungry program.

The Hunters Helping the Hungry program has become an important part of helping families in West Virginia struggling with hunger. This program helps coordinate the donation, processing, and distribution of venison through participating meat processors all over the state. The venison is then distributed through MFB’s network of agencies in our 48-county service area. With protein being one of the food banks biggest needs, this program has a huge impact on families and individuals struggling to put food on the table.

This partnership with West Virginia’s generous hunters is essential to providing lean, nutritious meat to those who need it most across our state.

We’re proud to be partnered with this program for another year, and we hope to exceed last year’s donation of 23,807lbs of deer meat. Hunters interested in donating can take their deer to a participating meat processor, or you can help by making a financial donation to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program. For more information, you can visit the W.V. DNR’s website.

This is such a fantastic initiative. It really speaks to the heart of West Virginia’s culture to see the hunting tradition used to tackle something as serious as food insecurity. Protein is often the hardest thing for food banks to source, so lean venison is an absolute game-changer for families in need. I recently saw a community feature on https://englandderbyshire.co.uk/ about how traditional outdoor skills can be repurposed to support local charities, and this is a perfect example of that in action. Over 23,000 lbs last year is incredible—I hope the donations are even higher this season! Thanks for spreading the word on such a practical way to help.

En testant plusieurs environnements de jeu en ligne, j’ai remarqué que l’impression initiale ne suffit pas à juger la qualité réelle d’une plateforme. Ce qui devient déterminant après plusieurs sessions, c’est la cohérence des menus, la fluidité des transitions et la stabilité générale de la navigation. J’ai consulté WildSultan afin de comparer différentes structures et observer la logique d’organisation des contenus. Cette approche permet de mieux évaluer l’expérience sur la durée et de distinguer les interfaces réellement constantes de celles qui perdent en confort après usage répété.
